THE DANDIES. • The Dandies are going strong in tlio Concert Chamber of the Town Ilall, and aro putting forward a bright and sparkling entertainment. All the programmes so far presented have been good, but the one that 'will bo given for thte last time to-night is easily the best. Jazz dancing is a strong feature of the programme. The dancing of Miss Annette Lang is always appreciated, and Mr. Georgo SJiarratfs comedy never fails to .arouse laughter. There will be another change of programme to-morrow. ■ "GINGER MICK." Claimed to be as fine as anything eve* turned out in America, and a picture that will ensure the reputation of iw maker and producer, Raymond Longford, is E. J. Carroll's six-reel picturisation of C. J. Dennis's famous work, "The Moods of Ginger Mick," which'ls to be presented for tho first time in Wellington, for a season of six nishts nnd'two matinees, starting at the King's Theatro to-morrow night. For the first time in their history the management state the critics of Aitfr tralia were unanimous in their praises of this sequel to "Tho Sentimental Bloke. The sub-title excerpts have been culled with export discretion, and the verses on the screen have a swing and a freshness about them that aret truly captivating. Patrons of "Ginger Mick" will renew acquaintance with "The Sentimental Bloke nnd "Doreen," but they are somewhat subordinate to the! characters of ' Ginger Mick," nnd his "cliner" Rose, in thii production. There is hardly a dry eye amongst the audience when Bill reads Trent's letter— "Wo buriod 'im down by . the teach, We put mimosa on the mound uv sand, Above 'im. 'Twas the nearest thing in reachTo golden wattle uv'is native land, But never wus the fairest wattle wreath Moro golden than the 'cart uv 'im beneath. Special" music accompanies the picturu, and Mr. Eraser Thomson, character comedian, will appear in characteristic sketches as a prelude to "Ginger Mick." Seats may be reserved at the Bristol or by theatre telephone. '

A matter of great interest to women, or what ought to be of ereat interest to them in the nresent condition of affairs, is the meeting which is to be held In the Town Hnll to-morrow night at eight o'clock to discuss the high cost of living. and to bring forward some definite plan of campaifjn to cope with a matter that threatens such serious consequences to the people of this country and more particularly, its children. Malnutrition snells a weakened ph.vsiaue. nnd that i? where the question touches the children and the women. The meetinpr is called by the Returned Soldiers' Association nnd the Women's National Council. The speakers will be Miss Coad, M.A„. president of the council, Professor T. 11. Hunter, and Mr. G. .M..
